In addition, the update will also contain new four-star Fiscl and Diluc skins and introduce a secondary character named Shikanoin Heizou, a genius detective whose “senses are sharp, and his thoughts are clear” for the banners of Klee and Kauha.  

Heizou will wield a Catalyst weapon, make us of the Anemo element and receive a hangout quest. Kazuha, on the other hand, will get a story quest when the update releases. As for Yoima, you’ll have to wait until the second phase of the 2.8 update for her to be available.

On top of this, a slew of events like Summertime Odyssey, co-op event Reminiscent Regimen, mechanical puzzle game Evermotion Mechanical, and combat event Hidden Strife will make their way to Genshin Impact, thanks to 2.8 Update. 

Because of such frequent updates, Genshin Impact is not showing any signs of slowing down. The addition of new content time after time prevents the game from going stale, and perhaps this is why the RPG has collected over $3 billion ever since it rolled out in September 2020. 

Meanwhile, in addition to the forthcoming update, the same development team has also announced its next game – Zenless Zone Zero. HoYoverse claims that the new title belongs to the urban fantasy category and attempts to “further explore action-oriented gameplay”.
